Zilpinz

Zilpinz A handicraft store that sources directly from artisans. Welcome to Zilpinz- A store crafted on stories.

Handicrafts play an important role in Indian culture and is the second largest rural sector after agriculture. India, a country with a history of arts spanning over several centuries comes towards a fork in its evolution where urban eccentries see the extinction of many of our fabled arts. Zilpinz is not only a platform but an initiative taken to revive the lost arts and crafts of India, to help p

romote ethnic crafts, Geographic Indicators, rural arts, and NGO/NPOs who are in the same field. We intend to tell the story of the artisans and craftsmen by bringing their hearts into your house through their art. Our main ideology lies in fusing different concepts and ideas by bringing together artists and artisans alike to cater to modern trends. Creativity and technology together play an important aspect in our mission to help and promote as many artisans as we can in India, and we intend to make it a memorable experience for you to shop in our store.

शिल्पिन् (Shilpin) in Sanskrit meaning an artisan, pronounced Zilpin, gave birth to the idea of Zilpinz.
